Wait.... are Fultz and Markkanen dying? That's terrible to hear. I want to revise my vote.
2nd Round Gonzo vs. BBN93/Aike
- Thread starter DraftCat
- Start date
That was the plan..... except my team is getting voted down. It's the Wisconsin game all over again for KAT. Except this time it's Rupp's Rafters in the roll of Andrew Harrison refusing to get the ball to him.Don't tell me you voted for Gonzo so your next round would be easier.![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")

Looks like Gonzo finally voted with all of his troll accounts.
Figured it would take Gonzo_My_Man and Smooth_As_Gonzo to beat us.

Come vote for me I'm losing to an old Lebron 
I think the voters forgot this is out of 7 years not the next 3 lol

Yeah, he's a good arguer. I'm way more laid back and diplomatic. Sorry I let the team down.
I never even mentioned that his team is run by a 42 year old man with a losing career playoff record. Probably should have brought that up.
I went with Gonzo.
Bradley, Leonard, Green, and Paul are defensive studs. That will remain consistent for the next several years. I just don't think the other squad has enough offense to overcome that. Blake Griffin has also become a bit injury prone. How does that affect him over the next 4, 5, 6 years.

Geez pandering much? Vote for Lebron he's the bestCome vote for me I'm losing to an old Lebron
Yeah, I think age isn't really factored in when voting. Aike deserved the w though.
I really don't think you'll see Chris Paul playing D at a high level for much longer. Maybe 2 years, tops.
Guys his age usually drop off significantly and quickly.
Then you're left with a defensive team run by Ricky Rubio. A classic third seed, give someone all they want in round two kind of team.
Your second best player is on his way out. Draymond Green is a product of the warriors system and a player on our team. In no way is he a top 25 player without steph and klay, Especially for the next 7 years.
The other team has absolutely no weaknesses and is only going to get better. You could possibly win next year, but I think that's your window. After that your banking on a pg who has yet to play a game and played on a team that was 5 games under .500 in a trash conference. Not to mention you have no interior d other than Draymond who plays mostly on the perimeter.

I went Gonzo but I don't think he's even mentioned what I feel like is his best lineup.. possibly I missed it.
It's the same slanted, dishonest discussion we have every summer. Just pick a side and go.
It is fun, though. And I think some people get pretty worked up.
This was different for me. Drafting a few spots to fill in holes on a team I didn't draft, then defending said team to the death.
I feel like Jay Bilas, only no one wrote me a check.
I still honestly think the bbn/aike team was better set for the future. I'm in the minority though, so good game gonzo.
I'd love to do one with all-time college players too. Really get the juices going on this board. Just don't allow any UK players and go at it.
Getting folks worked up is the fun part. It's all totally meaningless, so if you can't at least spice up the discussion it can fall flat.
From an NBA standpoint it's a good way to take a new look at guys you don't give much thought too. It really makes you appreciate someone like Draymond Green that you might dislike personally or a dude like Clint Capela that most folks don't realize is a damn good player.
I agree. Would be really tough to not judge a guy like Jordan based on what he became. Just like it's hard not to be biased towards Cats in this bracket. It's why I try not to pick any, just so I can try and rely on facts.
